    Do upvotes and downvotes federate similarly? If so, how does the protocol prevent vote rigging?

      I just upvoted you and saw the vote increase on two remote instances.

      The instances don’t seem to agree on your vote count, but both I was watching increased by one shortly after I upvoted you from beehaw.

      There’s a bit of technical explanation in the Lemmy Docs here. I haven’t looked into it at all but if you’re interested, that seems to be a good starting point.
